I have a table for one set up on the deck for lunch…. barbecue pork (see recipe below). I love to sit out on the deck and eat when the weather starts to get warm. We need some rain to get rid of some of the pollen. It is bad and my sinus’ are screaming at me!

Today I went with a green and white theme using Gollum’s white dishes. I grabbed the centerpiece off the dining room table.

Simple…..only took a few minutes… but what a difference it makes! So, next time you head out to the porch or deck to eat… take an extra few minutes to “fix the table”… aren’t you worth it?

This barbecue is really simple. My family LOVES it!

Crock pot- pulled pork barbecue

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook covered on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours or until meat is very tender. One hour before serving, take 2 forks and pull the pork apart. It should be very tender by this time and just fall apart as you separate. Cook for the remaining hour on low setting. Makes 8 servings

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my combination Tablescape Thursday and Foodie Friday post. Don't forget to visit Susan's blog Between Naps on the Porch to see more wonderful table settings and Gollum at Designs by Gollum for more “Foodie Friday” participants.

What a difference a week makes!

The Cherry Blossom Festival is this week. Somehow, each year, the cherry trees seem to know when the festival is here. I took this photo last week……..

Martha over at Lines from Lindherhof has given me the Friends Award. I have had alot going on lately and blogging has been my escape. This award, from you, could not have come at a better time! Thank you Martha!

The Friends Award comes with this message attached:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated."

And so to propagate more friendships, I'd like to pass this award on to:
